Gold falls as Dollar soars

Ten-year Treasury Note yields are testing support at 2.00%. Recovery above 2.50% would indicate another test of 3.00%. But 13-week Twiggs Momentum below zero continues to signal a down-trend. Another peak below zero would warn of a decline to test the all-time low at 1.40%. Breakout above 3.00% appears remote at present, but would signal the end of the secular (20+ year) down-trend.

10-Year Treasury Yields

The Dollar is on a tear, testing long-term resistance at 100. Rising 13-week Twiggs Momentum signals a strong (primary) up-trend. Breakout would offer a new target of 110*, but first expect retracement to confirm the new support level.

Gold

Gold fell through long-term support at $1200 and is testing the last line of support at the recent lows of $1140/$1150 per ounce. Reversal of 13-week Twiggs Momentum below zero warns of another (primary) decline, with a target of $1000*. Breach of support at $1140 would confirm.

* Target calculation: 1200 – ( 1400 – 1200 ) = 1000
